 "Right now, we believe it's a sole actor, a lone-wolf-type actor." said  Lombardo, adding that a motive for the shooting had yet to  be determined. Lombardo also said police had questioned a "person of  interest," Marilou Danley, the suspect's roommate, and determined she  was not involved in the shooting.  

 The festival is reported to have attracted about 30,000 attendees. Country superstar Jason Aldean, recently named 2017 Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, was on stage when the shooting began at 10:08 p.m. local time. He was not injured.
